1 Kings 20:28
20:28 The prophet 5 visited the king of Israel and said, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Because the Syrians said, “The Lord is a god of the mountains and not a god of the valleys,” I will hand over to you this entire huge army. 6 Then you will know that I am the Lord.’”

1 tn Heb “If you obey.” In the Hebrew text v. 38 is actually one long conditional sentence, which has been broken into two parts in the translation for stylistic purposes.
2 tn Heb “walk in my ways.”
3 tn Heb “do what is right in my eyes.”
4 tn Heb “I will build for you a permanent house, like I built for David.”
5 tn Heb “the man of God.”
6 tn Heb “I will place all this great horde in your hand.”
7 tn Heb “he walked in all the way of Asa his father and did not turn from it, doing what is right in the eyes of the Lord.”
8 sn Beginning with 22:43b, the verse numbers through 22:53 in the English Bible differ from the verse numbers in the Hebrew text (BHS), because 22:43b in the English Bible = 22:44 in the Hebrew text. The remaining verses in the chapter differ by one, with 22:44-53 ET = 22:45-54 HT.
